L Generator driven maneto

I found a reproduction of an old Case brochure that shows an L with electric start, lights and you can see the generator/magneto setup like the one we were seeing on E-Bay. The lights were mounted much differently though, they were mounted high on the top tank casting. My old L has a mount of some kind mount on the top right radiator tank bolts that extends out sideways about 4 inches and ends on a cup for something with a ball mount to bolt onto. I can't figure out what it could be other than some sort of light mount, but theres no trace of any electrics ever being fitted to the trcator. The bracket appears original because the 3 bolts through it match all the others only the grip length has been adjusted for the thickness of the mount. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks for posting your thoughts on the origional equipment on the grey era Case tractors. Here is my CINT with genrator mag combo. I wish someone would post pics of the factory cast centers for the later models also.

I see an electric starter but no crank handle under the radiator. It appears that you are holding a crank on the side where the belt pulley would be. I was aware of late Ls with electric start but didn't know any C models were ever available with them.

Hello Dr Cy Kosis,

Here is a picture from one of my books showing a light kit on a L.

Another book that I have shows a light mounted on the other side (right or curb side). They say that it was an Acetylene headlight designed but never produced.
